What do you do first to solve an Absolute Value Equation?

Isolate the Absolute Value 

100
| z - 13 | = 21
What is { -8 , 34 }
100

| d + 5 | = 9

What is { 4 , -14 }

100

| w + 9 | < 17

-26 < w < 8

100

State the  zeros

x= 1 and x= 3

200

What is the maximum number of solutions you have when solving absolute value?

Two

200
| d + 1 | = 7
What is { 6 , -8 }
200

| a - 6 | = 10

What is { 16 , -4 }

200

2 | x + 5 | > 22

x< -16 , x>6 

200

State the maximum and minimum value 

Max: y=1

Min: none

300

Absolute value equations can never be equal to this

A negative number

300
5 | q + 6 | = 20
What is { -2 , -10 }
300

3 |4x - 1| - 5 = 10

What is { -1, 3/2 }

300

3 | 2a - 4 | < 0

No solution

300

State the domain and range

Domain: (-infinity, +infinity)

Range: (-infinity, 1]

400

If the absolute value equation is equal to 0, how many solutions are there? 

One 

400

| p + 1 | + 10 = 5

What is { No Solution }

400

|2x - 3| = - 1

What is { No Solution }

400

Taylor solved this problem and said that the solutions are b> 13/3, b< 7/3. Taaylor made an error. Find the error and explain why it's wrong. 

-5| 3b - 10 | > 15

No Solution because postives are never lessthan negatives. 

Taylor kept going even when the absolute value was less than a negative number. 

400

State the end behavior.

As x-->+inf, f(x)--> -inf

As x--> -inf, f(x)--> -inf

500

If the absolute value is greater than a negative number, how many solutions are there? 

Infinitely Many

All Real Numbers

500

|3x + 2| +5 =  5

What is { -2/3}

500

-6 -|2x+5| = -6

What is { 5/2} ?

500

-5 | 3z + 8 | - 5 > -20

-11/3 < z < -5/3

500

State the increasing and decreasing intervals

Increasing: (-inf, 2]

Decreasing: [2, +inf)
